Prototyping all the things

Humans are incredibly bad at predicting the future yet increasingly complex environments require us to do just that in order to avoid costly and even dangerous mistakes. To try and understand the future of our apps, our products, even entire businesses, we make risky guesses and estimations which — not rarely — end up being far from reality.
Prototyping to the rescue! Prototypes built the right way can act as the time machine we always wanted. At Siili, Florian and his team are building prototypes for a wide variety of environments — from in–car guidance systems to kitchen appliances. Through–out the years they have found a way to utilize prototypes as strategic design tool and Florian will share some insights on what he has learned.

Florian solves problems on the open web. He works with his tiny software shop Polarblau somewhere close to the polar circle for companies of all sizes around the globe. Between gigs he builds http://pleaserevise.com and http://heypayme.com/. Florian prefers Ruby over PHP, Coffeescript over Javascript, beer over bubbly, open source over proprietary software, bike over car, work over meetings, small over big, action over talk, learning over degrees and his family over everything.
